Can tho Uaiversal Csasu.ptioa be Successfully
Treated
DR.. Borgeou, q leading French doc
tor, has new treatment for con:
sumption!
He gives an enema Of carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydroge, gases. the
latter gas carrying the former into
every part Of the throat and lungs.
This treatment. too, is directed at
effects-the cause remains undis-
turbed.
What this cause is has been stated
by perhaps the highest pulmonary
authority in the world, j.. e.. the
Brompton Hospital for Consump-
tives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries of
from One-seventh to one fifth of the
entire population of England!
DR.. Payne, NJ. d., NJ. II. C. p, Lon
don, Is authority for this statement.
The same or greater proportion of
deaths obtains III America.
DR.. Payne also says one-half the
total number OF deaths from all other
causes have seeds OF this disease in
the system which only requires some
irritant to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that con-
sumption is caused by deficient nutri-
ton of the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot bedisput-
ed. The medical world recognizes
them. T he uric acid is the irritant
in the blood that causes the devel-
opment of the seeds which DR.. Breh-
mer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle OF blood which passes
thr ough the lungs AMI tho heart, also
goes through the kidneys, and if they
ore the least deranged they cannot rid
the blood OF it's killing poison. The
thousand little hairlike sewer tubes OF
the kidneys very easily get blocked up
and disc :ased; and when they do, they
corrupt instead of purifying the blood.
Kidney disease may exist, yet no pain
occur in that organ, because it is de-
ficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day
and it soon testers and is destroyed.
Send acid poisoned blood through
the lungs every second, and they soon
give way.
The Brompton Hospital investiea-
ton showed that SO per cent. of the
victims of consumption were afflicted
with deranged kidneys, which permit
ted the uric acid poison to remain in
the blood and irritate the lungs. This
uric acid is always fighting every vital
organ, and if there b. any inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably
causes pneumonia, cough and consump-
ton.
The real cause of pulmonary trouble
being so authoritatively shown to be
faulty even though unsupported action
Of the kidneys, explains why, in order
to master the dreaded consumption,
one must rid the blood of the uric
acid irritant which inflames and burns
up the lung substance. For this pur-
pose there is nothing equal to that
great specific, Warmers safe cure.
This reemdy has now the favor of
medical men all over the world purely
on its merits. We have no doubt
that if the kidneys are kept in natural
action, consumption and great
many other diseases, caused by uric
acid, will not only be cured but will be
prevented.
When the Kidney is healthy, no al
eumen appears in the water, but al
bumen is found in the water OF more
than half of those who die OF consump-
ton!
This, then, is the condition ofthings
that always precedes consumption:
First, weakened Kidneys; second, re-
tanned uric acid, poisoning the blood;
third, the development OF disease in
the lungs by the lrritant acids passing
through them. Then there is q little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yell
low matter is spit up, followed by loss
OF flesh and strength, with dreadful
night sweats; and when the patient
goes to his school physician for help;
he is put on cod liver oil which
his stomach, weakened also
by uric acid in the blood, cannot d.
gest. Because there is no pain pres
emit in the Kidneys. the patient
does not think they are affected, but
the kidney acid is doing it's work every
minute, every hour. day and night,
and by-and-by. the disease OF the lungs
has advanced until pus is developed,
then come hemorrhages, and at last
the CLASSY stare denotes that the end
is near!
A post-mortem examination of
such cases shows that the terrible uric
acid has completely destroyed the
substance of the lung.
It is impossible to cure lung disease
when the blood is poisoned with uric
acid.
